AJ Vaynerchuk +1Fine pick up for the Yankees. Sexson can still hit lefties, and he definitely still has some pop in his bat. -
BadenBall I live in Seattle, I can tell you right now, there's a reason Sexson was released, he couldn't hit water out of a boat. But, if he follows in the ex-mariner tradition, he will probably end up with 30 HR's at the end of the year.

mysportsrumors well baden, they picked him up for one purpose lefties, so he'll play once or twice a week if that as a starter. and serve mainly as a pinch-hitter late in the game. not a bad pick up especially when the Mariners are paying him-
BadenBall mysports, I agree with you on that not a bad pick up, especially since the mariners are picking up the tab. Just be ready for the boo-birds to start flying when he's on deck.

The Dream Came True: Richie Sexson's a Yankee

Get ready to boogie down in the Bronx on Saturday, folks...Richie Sexson is coming to town!
The Yankees will only have to pay Sexson the prorated minimum of $390,000 from his $14 million salary with the Mariners. Seattle is eating the remainder of the nearly $6 million Sexson is owed for the season.
Oh yes, Seattle...eat it up. Nom nom nom how good does that $6 million chunk of change taste? Do you need some crushed red pepper on that to spice it up a bit? Perhaps some fine Washington Pinot Noir to wash it ...

Meanwhile, what exactly are the '08 Yankees turning into, I mean, other than a huge, inflated, expensive joke? Sidney Ponson? Richie Sexson?

I SAID SexsNO
Published 7/17/2008 by Yankees Chick (noreply@blogger.com) at Yankees Chick
... ESPN is reporting that the Yanks have a "tentative" deal to bring Richie SexsNO to the Bronx as early as Saturday. Is he really better than Better Mint? I'm assuming that's whose roster spot will be usurped. He actually hits pretty well against lefties - .344 average this year - which I admittedly did not realize when I first proclaimed my disdain for the very thought of bringing him on the team, so I suppose there is an outside chance that he can do something for the team. They only have to pay him a prorated chunk of the league minimum $390K, so even if he winds ...

Yanks Reach Agreement With Richie Sexson
Published 7/17/2008 by noreply@blogger.com (J-Boogie) at Baseball & The Boogie Down
It's being reported that the Yankees have reached a tentative agreement with recently released slugger Richie Sexson. While I'm not a big Sexson fan, the move makes sense. The Yanks are desperate for a right handed bat with some pop and they get that with Sexson. Sexson is having a good year against LHPs - .344 AVG/.423 OBP/.623 SLG. For his career, Sexson is .265/.369/.510. The Yanks have a league leading 1031 ABs against LHPs this year. ...

... -P- The Yankees have reached an agreement with Richie Sexson, who could be very useful in a more limited role. He's a terrible starting first baseman at this point--he doesn't field as well as he once did, and he hasn't hit righties at all this year--but he can help in an Eduardo Perez sort of role, coming off the bench every couple days against a lefty reliever. ...

Yanks have tentative deal with Sexson
Published 7/17/2008 by NumberSeven at Pinstripe Alley: Front Page Posts
Many of us knew it would happen.
Buster Olney is reporting the Yankees and Richie Sexson have reached a tentative agreement.
Sexson fits in New York because the Yankees needed a right-handed slugger to match up against left-handed pitching -- and Sexson had a .344 average against lefties this year.
Assuming the deal is completed, he'll be in the lineup Saturday against Oakland.
I have said all along I think this a low risk, no lose situation. Worse thing that happens is he stinks and the cut him. A little more ...
Yankees Sign Richie Sexson
Published 7/17/2008 by Josh Jones at The Transaction Guy
The New York Yankees have come to terms with first-baseman Richie Sexson, who was released by the Seattle Mariners a week ago. General Manager Brian Cashman believes that Sexson can help the club against left-handers, something that they have had some trouble with. In 71 at-bats against left-handers this year, Richie is hitting .344.
TG Analysis
The Yankees might have gotten a steal here, signing a player who has always been a power threat for a mere $390,000. Sexson should see adequate time at first-base and maybe even play some ...

Yankees have deal with Sexson
The Yankees need a right handed bat against lefties and Sexson was hitting lefties well this year. I don’t want him on this team but I’m sure the Yankees do.
